Everyone wears Crocs now around water, as do I. They are soft as a babies butt.

At the same time, those nice soft shoes are the worst thing ever for your vinyl and gelcoat.

Any shoe, exspecially the soft soled ones, pick up abrasive materials from the ground. Broken glass, bits of rock and asphalt, etc inbed themselves in the shoe and pretty much make the perfect scratching material.

I've heard a couple stories of those Fannings tearing up boat interiors. For that reason i took a pair of pliers and ripped out the bottle opener. At first i tried to grind it off. then i realized that you can just pull the metal part out.

That is about the most idiotic place for a bottle opener I can imagine. I'm FAR from a germophobe, but I can't believe anyone actually uses it to open something they're going to drink. Ever stepped in dog crap in the yard, and were glad you had shoes on?

i was thinking that same thing at the longhorn rail jam in austin everyone was using the portapotties and we were drinking from bottles and some one said i will open it i was like no thanks..... thats just gross

a friend of mine spent a half an hour trying to find an opener for his Heinekin before he remembered to use his Reefs. I personally think it's a great place for an opener as long as your on the beach. The white sands of Orient Beach in St. Marteen can be wiped off pretty easy!
